In addition, the lncRNA zinc finger protein 24 transcription regulator (ZNFTR) plays an inhibitory role in pancreatic cancer (PC) by modulating the activating transcription factor (ATF3)/zinc finger protein 24 (ZNF24)/vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) pathway (Li et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
